Overabundant Deer?
Join Tracy Grogan, TAG Consulting, author, former Cisco manager, along with Maurita Holland, both members of Washtenaw Citizens for Ecological Balance, in a discussion of a national issue that's now gained the attention of the City Council.

Rotary update, new project consideration, stimulating discussion! 1st and 3rd Thursdays of every month.

The Rotary Club of Ann Arbor-A.M. talked with John Manfredi at its 7:30 a.m. meeting on Thursday, October 2. The recently-appointed artistic director of the Performance Network Theatre discussed its economic challenges and its exciting new and expanded offerings. Here John is flanked by PNT Board Members and Rotarians Barbara Bach and Mary Avakratos along with past president Maurita Holland.

The University of Michigan Rotaract is well-launched into the new year as about 40 students met on Sept. 30. Pictured here is a speed-dating mixer. The Club has already held a volunteer day at the Michigan Urban Farming Initiative and there are plenty more events planned, Joanne Pierson, Rotary Committee Chair, reports.

Thanks to an energized planning team, many enthusiastic members and friends, beautiful weather, fine Barton Hills facilities, and very special auction items, the Club's Golf and Tennis Outing was a major social, financial, and athletic (?!) event! Thank you sponsors, committee, attendees, and everyone who made the day a success!
